Jingletown Today

The sounds of life abound

Today the community is surrounded by that industrial past with the old buildings hugging every corner of the community. Some of the homes in Jingletown need rehabilitation and the threat of industrial expansion is still present.
But the sounds of music from radios, a crowing rooster and people on front stoops conversing in Spanish, plus the smell of barbecues in the church yard, give this neighborhood an alive urban flavor.

On my livable and sensible scale:

Griping about assorted threats to their quality of life, affluent communities espouse solidarity with the urban neighborhood movement- when it seves their purpose. Jingletown, on the other hand is a neighborhood that can legitimately claim a place in our nation's rich history of urban community organizing. For that reason, it's one of my favorite Bay Area neighborhoods. --(from an Article in the Sunday, April 15, 1990 SF Examiner by Bradley Inman)
